Not a good look for the founder of interviewing.io: "I’ve been coding for a pretty long time. Since 1982, actually. There’s no data structure called 'a grouping' in any language I’ve ever used. So what assumptions are you going to make about the problem?"
But--there's absolutely a data interface in C#/.Net called "a grouping". It's fundamental to LINQ: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.linq.igrouping-2 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.linq.igro...
Shameful to spread the idea that software developers haven't created an industry-standard interface for groupings of enumerable data in 2020.
- ludamad 6y agoIs it that shameful? He chose his words as carefully as anyone should, he said in languages he used. And indeed, a "grouping of numbers" is pretty ambiguous even if you know this exists. It could just mean an array or something more nuanced
- onion2k 6y agoWhy are you ignoring the "in any language I’ve ever used" part of the quote?
